Уныние
Language: Russian (Русский) after the French (Français)
Павлины, белые павлины, уплыли при лучах луны, Павлины, белые павлины, уплыли плавно навсегда, Уплыли белые павлины, мои томительные сны, До пробужденья, до рассвета, во глубь заглохшего пруда, Павлины, белые павлины, мои томительные сны, Уплыли плавно в глубь глухую, где дремлет тусклая вода, В глухую глубь пруда без солнца, где волны полны тишины, Павлины, белые павлины, уплыли плавно навсегда.
